Indeed, it turned out very well.

that was a great read... very interesting...

I'm putting together the final issue. It's turning out to be pretty sad on three points:

1) Having to remember William Scarboro, who is now dead.
2) Having to remember Dennis Scarff, who is now dead.
3) Writing the final edition in the series.

Today we're bringing you the final edition of the Apogee Legacy Interview Series. As this was put together by Joe Siegler, we'll let him talk about the conclusion to the series.

"It's a bit of a sad moment, as this series has been a lot of fun to put together. Apogee has a rich history, being involved in some capacity in over 70 titles in our 19 year history now. I've been here for a long time myself, having seen the majority of these games get released. When Scott Miller originally came up with this idea, I wasn't terribly sure how well it would work, because a lot of the people we spoke with for this series either haven't kept in touch, or we lost track of them, etc, etc, etc... But it worked out well. Managed to reconnect with some folks, including a couple we haven't spoken with as a company in over a decade.

Yes, this is the final edition. It is not the normal edition, as this one is a summary, and has some recollections by folks of the two people who have worked here who have since died; William Scarboro & Dennis Scarff. So let's get onto the final edition."

Of all the people who have worked here (and there's been a lot), we're fortunate that (to our knowledge anyway), they're all still alive. So far only two folks who have worked here have since died. We want to take this time in the final edition of the series to commemorate them.

This was the best one yet. It was pretty sad. That dedication you guys did to William in Prey was also a nice a very nice thing.

Bludd · 06-26-2006, 01:07 PM

Well done, Joe. A great tribute to the two guys.
Thanks for the interesting series. I have enjoyed every single one, even this one which is a bit sad even for me. I know how hard it is to lose someone close.

An imaginative, unique and 'wonderful' read. This sort of stuff just sets 3DR apart from the rest of the industry - when most have come, gone or been bought up, chewed on and spat out! OK, you clearly have a few skeletons in the cupboard as well

but hey keep making the history guys!!

Thanks to everyone who took time out to bring us this!

GOK · 06-27-2006, 01:14 AM

Thanks Joe and 3DR for putting this series together. Great reads and a great insight into the human side of the company.

ADM · 06-27-2006, 01:33 AM

Great series and a great end to it. I would have loved to know Dennis and William.

Kalki · 06-27-2006, 04:54 AM

Good work on this entire series! This last one was touching.

ultra tree 85! · 06-27-2006, 07:46 AM

This was a great series, and I enjoyed reading it all the way through.
It is very nice that Prey has been dedicated to William.

Dae_Man · 06-27-2006, 07:53 AM

An awesome, if sad, read.

I've been following this series since it started, and I must say great work!

I hope in the future people like Todd will be able to get in contact and give their input.

Wonderful work guys!

ColdCat · 06-27-2006, 11:53 AM

ShadeEX · 06-27-2006, 02:23 PM

I felt the same way for some reason. I didn't even know William and yet he sounded like such a great guy.

Great work Joe - the series was well worth reading.

Micki! · 06-29-2006, 06:48 AM

This one, and the one with Joe were the best throughout all of the interviews...
It was funny to hear of William, he sounds like a guy i'd like to meet...
